ozanzac 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Either you've got fat fingers and are mashing too many keys at once, or you've got a virus. Does shift work outside OFP? Does it start Media Player when you press shift outside OFP? Does it make the Internal speaker beep when you press it? Judging by your post, being reluctant to use capital letters, you probably have a virus my freind. Good luck nuke'n the bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOB 0 Posted September 18, 2003 I had some thing like this before. Although not near as weird as your problem. My keyboard sometimes decides that I am pressing say the "A" key whilst in game. And thus my character is strafing around the place, it never happens whilst I am typing or performing other tasks though.... And how I fix it: I plug the keyboard in and out Also my keyboard gets dirty very easily, is it a virus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted September 18, 2003 Sounds like a stuck-key to me Have you tried what Goob did? Un-plug and plug in again your keyboard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dauragon 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Sounds like a stuck-key to me Have you tried what Goob did? Un-plug and plug in again your keyboard... yep just tried it still the same or it could be the coca cola i dropped on it yesterday , but its weird it only happend today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Could probably be that... Try removing all the keys and drying all the coca-cola off. I spilled some water on my old keyboard and funnily enough all I had to do to make it working again was just wiping away the water with a dry cloth. And with coke that can become even worse. As it keeps "wet" for quite a while. But that can't really be the problem here... Unless you have some hotkey on your keyboard that is supposed to bring up your media player.

Major Fubar 0 Posted September 18, 2003 It's still weird that one key would activate all of your media players, even if it is stuck down...unless you've got some kind of universal shortcut ket set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â nop not hotkey at all for media players, it starts winamp, windows media player, real one player and quicktime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bordoy 0 Posted September 18, 2003 I think its sticky keys or filter keys. just change te setting to a thing you don't use much like ` Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoonieRat 0 Posted September 19, 2003 The coca cola will have dried out and left the sticky syrup behind. Take your keypad apart (be careful to keep the keypad part upside down incase all the keys fall out!!. The wipe over the plastic sheet with mildly soapy water and drie it off properly... If liquid has gotten between the plastic sheets it might of shorted some keys, take the sheets apart and clean gently with soapy water and dry again!... You can repair keypad plastic sheets with 'rear windscreen heater repair paint' if any of the traces have been washed out by the cola. Just don't put too much paint on, so it's not 'proud/lumpy'... Or buy a new keypad ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXSHADOWS 0 Posted September 19, 2003 Side note: Ive heard that unpluging a Ps2 keyboard while you system is running may dammage the keyboard or Ports.So be carefull please,Anyways,If you think its a virus I would go and find something that has some virus softwar bundled with something.Unless you want to just the virus software. I know I split some tea on a keyboard of mine and it worked fine untill it dryed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
